What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in data engineering.

I'm a dedicated Data Engineer with a strong foundation in data modernization and cloud computing. Currently pursuing a Master of Technology in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, I have honed my skills in building scalable ETL pipelines and optimizing data processes. My experience at Tavant and Cognizant has equipped me with the expertise to enhance data quality and accessibility, ensuring that data-driven insights are readily available for decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led initiatives that resulted in significant cost savings and improved efficiency. Notably, I migrated a Scala-Spark ETL framework to PySpark, achieving over $96k in savings while enhancing pipeline performance. My commitment to data governance and compliance is evident in my work on data lineage solutions, which have streamlined vendor onboarding processes and improved overall data integrity.

With a passion for continuous learning and innovation, I am eager to leverage my skills in Python, SQL, and AWS to contribute to impactful data solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and am excited about opportunities that challenge me to grow and make a difference.
